Epson Printer Filter Failure with rastertoescpII

Thank you Yuengdog1983.Naming my computer did the trick! I originally had my computer named so I am not sure how the original name was deleted, but I am sure glad that fix worked! You saved me hours of frustration!.

Thanks :-)

I had the same problem. Tried various suggested fixes which did not work. Then I stumbled across an Epson US website which suggested similar answer.

System prefs/sharing: enter computer name or change name.

S./prefs/print & fax. Select printer list/Options and supplies. In location field enter computer name as named before then ok.

So simple after all the computer spagetti that was pouring out onto the screen!

I had the same problem as well. It started two days ago. Printer was fine on my iPhone and iPad, but every time I went to print on my MacBook Pro, it went into PAUSE and wouldn't RESUME. OR I got an rastertoescpII error.

The only thing I could think of that I did since the printer was working perfectly 2 days ago was DELETE a VMWare Fusion VIRTUAL PC DISCK on my Mac hard drive. I needed space on my drive for Mac stuff. I uninstalled/deleted it (according to the instructions, and using CleanMyMac) and everything was fine. Except when I tried to print.

Two days of absolute **** and frustration, calling around, hunting for Discussions on the internet, sent an email to EPSON, even had an IT expert help me. No go.

Then, somehow, I searched on "rastertoescpII error" and found this Discussion and Yeungdog1983's recommendation to enter a computer name.

IT WORKED. Now, Printing Bliss!!! Thank you, Yeungdog1983!!!!

Thank you, Yuengdog. I wish I'd found this before I called Apple to find out this exact same thing, though I'm happy they now know there's at least one more person having this problem (I also told them many people seem to be having the same, or similar problem). Looks like your post is doing most of Apple & Epson's work. You ROCK!

Wow! After spending hours and hours following every lead and suggestion I finally found your fix and thought well I've tried everythingelse, why not? Boom, fixed quick and simple. Thank you so much, keep up the good advice!

Laughter & Happiness,

LAR

Please help me, I have read all the comments about how well everybody go with the computer renaming to be able to print. I have tried all. I search for answers all over internet, apple, epson and others with no luck. I think I´m close to fixing this problem when talking to you. Please help me, renaming the computer on Mavericks has not solved the problem I still get the "Filter failed" message. I know it worked for many people but I feel left behind. Please, please help.

Bonjour,

J'ai le même problème que «lilaundgelb» c'est-à-dire: «rastertoescpII failed» avec imprimante Epson Stylus NX510. Je crois comprendre que vous suggérez une solution mais je ne comprends pas tout en anglais, notamment tout ce que vous expliqué avec le Time Machine. Est-ce possible de me l'expliquer en français? J'ai essayé plusieurs des solutions proposées dans les forums et par le biais de Epson support mais aucune des solutions ne marche! (Ex: changé le nom de l'ordinateur dans Préférences Système/partage ou encore désinstallé l'imprimante et réintialisé l'impression ...) J'ai également téléchargé Gutenprint mais le pilote pour EPSON Stylus NX510 figure dans leur liste mais n'est pas suivi de .gutenprint à la suite du nom. Bref, j'ai réellement besoin d'aide. Merci à l'avance.

This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty

Open System Preferences and choose Sharing

Enter a name for your computer

Restart the Computer

Test if you are able to print

Le problème vient du nom de l'ordinateur qui n'a pas été précisé.

Allez dans les préférences Système et choisir "Partage"

Donnez-y un nom à votre ordi

Redémarrez

En principe ça suffit et vous devriez pouvoir imprimer à nouveau.

J'avais déjà essayé cette solution, je l'ai ré-essayée de nouveau mais le message d'erreur est encore là ainsi que «hors ligne» et une mini icône jaune avec un ~ blanc s'affiche sur l'icône de l'imprimante. Toujours pas de possibilité d'imprimer. J'ai également refait la configuration réseau de l'imprimante avec mon nouveau routeur pour être sûre que de ce côté-là le wifi fonctionne bien. Merci pour votre aide.

My computer name was already there under sharing so not the solution for me. However my French is just good enough to read the last post and I re-entered the router settings on my printer"......et voila. Merci beaucoup.

An alternative option is to use third-party printer drivers for your Epson printer, such as the Gutenprint driver pack for OS X. To do this, go to the Gutenprint Web site and download the latest version of the drivers. Install them, and then go to the Print & Scan system preferences, remove your printer, and then re-add it. When you select your printer device, choose "Select Software" from the "Use" menu for the driver to use, and then locate the driver for your printer model, making sure you select the one that says "Gutenprint" in the name. If there are multiple such drivers, then you can try adding one, but if it fails then remove the printer and re-add it, using one of the other drivers.

Just to make sure we're all on the same page you're referring to this Library folder

and not the invisible Users/Home/Library folder.

This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty

Open System Preferences and choose Sharing

Enter a name for your computer

Restart the Computer

Test if you are able to print

If possible, restore the following folder from a backup (such as a Time Machine snapshot) that was made before you installed the update:

/Library/Printers/EPSON
